Saddened by manufactures going out of business
I am saddened by manufactures going out of business over the last few years. My company supports manufactures by producing aluminum die castings and zinc die castings for their products. In the last few years, some of my customers could no longer stay in business. Subsequently, my company, Kinetic Die Casting Company suffers.
In an effort to stay ahead of this crisis, I purchased assets of three die casting companies that were going out of business. Those companies were:
* C&D Die Casting Company
* Spencer Diecasting Company, and
* Coast Die Casting Company.
These three small die casting companies have provided my company with more sales and have diversified our customer base to assist during our normal seasonal shipment lulls. Kinetic Die Casting Company is position to grow rapidly when the U.S. economy returns in full vigor.

C and D Die Casting Company
Twice in the last three days, I was called to visit a company that did business with C and D Diecasting Company. C&D went out of business in 2004 because of Workers Compensation issues. CD die casting company was located in Chatsworth California. Jay Clifford was the owner of C&D Die Casting, he also owned Clifford Tooling and Machining.
Jay Clifford of C D Die Casting Company sold me the tooling, mold bases and holders for die casting molds. Because I now own the holders I can produce parts for anyone that was doing business with C and D Die Casting Company.
The first company I visited, took their tool away in 2004 as C and D Die Casting was closing down and sent the tool to a die casting company in Burbank called Royal Die Casting. In 2009, Royal Die Casting Company closed also. They need parts and found my company, Kinetic Die Casting Company, through another company I purchased called Coast Die Casting Company.
The second company I visited, has not purchased parts since 2004 when C D diecasting company closed down.
I am happy they found my company and I know they are happy we can help them.

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Lighting Parts vs Sand Casting
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Lighting Parts vs Sand Casting. Aluminum sand casting tooling roughly costs from $500 – $7,500, depending on the size and complexity. Pressure die cast tooling on the other hand costs from $5,000 – $75,000, again depending on the size and complexity of the die cast parts. However, tooling can create from 100,000 parts to as much as 1,000,000 pressure die casting parts.
In sand casting, the molds or patterns are used to make sand molds. The preparation and bonding process of sand molds is the most critical step in the process. This technique is usually used for high volume production.
With die casting, the mold is usually made of metal like cast iron or steel. They are generally not destroyed but are made permanent. There are several types of die casting, the most widely used being high pressure die casting. 50% of light alloy casting production are made from high pressure die casting.
Sand casting and pressure die casting processes vary from some hundred to some thousand parts. The cost of tooling and machinery is required for aluminum sand casting that is not normally required in the die casting process due to its tighter tolerance of the pressure die cast process in making the aluminum parts.

The Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic Parts
Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic Parts:
- Plastic is an insulator, while aluminum is electrically conductive. Plastic parts will need a special coating to achieve a similar result with aluminum (albeit inferior).
- Plastic does not ground, thus it requires extra grounding metal straps. Aluminum, being a metal, is easily grounded.
- Aluminum has a natural shield against RF and EMI, preventing radio frequency. Plastic does not block radio frequency.
- Aluminum hardware brackets are much stronger than plastic injection moldings.
- Aluminum metal is stiff, while plastic injection moldings are too elastic for numerous applications.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well for chrome plating.
- Plastic can not obstruct electromagnetic emissions.
- Plastic does not do well with many coatings, while aluminum brackets do better on the department.
- Aluminum parts are stable, whereas plastic injection parts are not quite dimensionally stable.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well in conditions of hot and humid temperatures. Aluminum hardware is more heat resistant.
- One big problem with plastic is that they are not recyclable. Only less than 3% of the plastic will be recyclable. Nearly all metals, aluminum die castings in particular, are always readily recyclable.
- Aluminum die castings are non-hazardous and pose no problems to the government.

The company transport small amounts of less than a thousand military parts in as early as fourteen days, even earlier at times. They would also create and transport less than a hundred military parts if they are required to do so.
Die casting under high pressure is a procedure that the company uses to create aluminum die cast parts. They instill aluminum alloy metal that is being molten under high pressure to a steel die to manufacture aluminum parts.
